I would imagine he could get plenty done if those idiots who are masquerading as members of his party would cooperate with him instead of the democrats.

Where is Cruz on removing the cap on defense spending?

Is he for it or against it?

Where is Cruz on removing the cap on defense spending?

Is he for it or against it?


Prospective candidates Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Gov. Bobby Jindal (R., La.) spoke at a Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI) forum on Wednesday, while Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) discussed national security issues at a Wall Street Journal CEO Council’s meeting on Tuesday. All three backed increases in defense spending amid steep budget cuts, effectively endorsing the GOP’s role as the party of national defense. Some members had flirted with targeting the Pentagon to trim budget deficits after election victories in 2010.

Cruz said the defense cuts known as sequestration are “having a serious, deleterious effect on our ability to defend our nation,” though he noted that the Pentagon’s budget is “not immune from congressional pork.” Even Paul, who had previously expressed a desire to reduce defense spending and has generally advocated for a more noninterventionist foreign policy, said he would support a larger defense budget if cuts could be found elsewhere.

Tom Donohue is a hack and a flak for the corporations who want a slave class of low wage worker bees. He and they couldn’t give a shit less about the damage being done to the fabric of this society, one major thread of which, as described in the excellent essay at the link, is the RULE OF LAW.

They had to make up something, all they really had was Cruz didn't tie his shoes
for school one day when he was Seven.

Tom Donohue is a treasonous sack of excrement.

In a perfect world he would be in prison for corruption and selling out America.

The C of C says they are working with the Democrats to get things done. I wonder just what they are getting done and what the Democrats are getting out of it. They need to pay more taxes!

If the Chamber of RINOs hates Cruz, he can’t be that bad.

Donahue is a commie traitor.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue was barely finished calling for the further impoverishment of American workers (i.e. “immigration reform”) when he shows up as a guest of Cuba’s Stalinist regime and gives a speech at the University of Havana calling for a further fleecing of American taxpayers...”

This is a perfect opening for Cruz to call out this degenerate scumbag once and for all.

Never in my life have I been more disgusted than when I stayed in the same hotel as this guy and his RNC oligarchs at the RNC winter meeting in 2012.

Bunch of degenerate crony capitalists with greedy pulled back wives.

It’s insane that the DNC is even more evil.

You have a sharp eye. I totally missed the stale date.

Since that date you pointed out, Donahue’s remarks back then got him into some trouble, therefore, the COC has not been heard bloviating so covertly since.

But this is their agenda and nothing has changed. They are just underground now avoiding the microphone. Traitors.

“Donahue also said he believes that immigration reform is far from dead despite the intense partisanship in Washington.”

Aww, there’s the bottom line. They want their cheap labor and fear Cruz will take it away. So they make a silky argument like we don’t know if he can legislate, instead of their real argument which is that he won’t legislate how they want.

hypocrites!

If this is all they can come up with, he will be a stellar candidate with all his abilities and courage and principles.

Donohue is a former truck driver, post office functionary, and lobbyist. Doesn’t sound like positions from which he did much outside lower level positions feeding off government.
